Switchfoot – Scrappy Little Christmas Tree (Guitar)

A
When I was just a kid, I had no money at all

A
I didn't have the extra quid to spend for decking the halls

       E
So the only little pine for my family and me

                               A     G Ab A
Was a scrappy little Christmas tree

A
And then I got a little older and I got me some dough

A
So I went down to buy a tree, but it was covered with snow

           E
I couldn't tell until it melted there on Christmas Eve

           A
It was a scrappy little Christmas tree

             D                          A
It's getting late at the Christmas tree lot

                        E                    A
And all the trees worth getting were already got

                   B
Hey, but there's a runt in the corner sitting all alone

         E
I said, "Hey Momma, maybe we could give him a home?"

     A
So I finally got a tree a little taller than me

A
I ain't hatin' decoratin', but you wouldn't believe

      E
I was dreaming 'bout the simple way it used to be

                                A
With a scrappy little Christmas tree

B
There ain't no correlation with the size of the gift

B
And the happiness you're feeling with the ones that you're with

            F#
When you're sitting, reminiscing, kissing happy beneath

    B
Any scrappy little Christmas tree

             E                          B
It's getting late at the Christmas tree lot

                        F#                   B
And all the trees worth getting were already got

              C#
But there's a runt in the corner sitting all alone

         F#
I said, "Hey Momma, maybe we could give him a home?"

     B
So I finally got a tree a little taller than me

B
I ain't hatin' decoratin', but you wouldn't believe

      F#
I was dreaming 'bout the simple way it used to be

                                    B
With you and me and that three-foot-tall, crappy Christmas tree
